animal testing

my contraversial issue i think wwnt pretty good its a reallly debabatable point and i think that people discussed it and it flowed well with the question but i was reallly nervous and i dont know why so im pretty sure i sounded dumb wen i was talking but overall it probably seemed good with my whole group.. i personallly sont reallly have a view either way about i think that unfourtunanty animal testing is done and it can have a lot of helpful benefits towards human advances in science but the way they treat the animals and the type of cruel experiments that take place but. lifes not always fair or perfect soo yeaah

The Test.

So I took the test yesterday and I really didn't think the questions were that difficult, I just feel like we have so much to say on the subjects that our time management was most difficult. But as a goodbye to 1984, I have to say that in the end I really liked its concepts and how it made you reflect upon our own society.

No Worries, Im not going to come and kill your kittens.

Okay, so I just wanted to clarify something from friday, Im not really an animal hater who has no heart. haha. I just feel like there is a clear difference between a human and animal, and if testing on animals as compared to humans can save a humans life, then personally I see no issue with it. Yes, I understand that I haven't seen chimps backs being broken, or poor little bunnies suffering to death, but in my eyes, they are just animals that are being used for the good of humanity. And in all honesty, if animal testing wasn't being done for some of my medications that I'm on currently, then I probably wouldn't be living right now.

... wow, alright this still isn't sounding any better, ha.

But there is one more thing that I was thinking about when it came to this issue, I feel like a huge part of this issue is whether you believe in creationism or evolution. A person who believes in evolution (fully) would look at that chimp and think that we are torturing something that is so close to us, because we came from it, and rose above it. But if you believe in creation, then you look at an animal that God gave us dominion over?.. I dont know if that really makes sense to all, and Im not saying that I'm basing my total beliefs off of the bible by any means; but its probably easier for me to be pro animal testing because I dont think God created us equal to animals.. (And I am not saying that all Christians believe this same way at all, more so not everyone from my church)

and, I hope to one day be a doctor, so I feel like in one way or another animal testing is going to cross my path and I don't want to be hypocritical about it.
